Competition Corner – April 2014
April is already here and that means it’s time to get your homebrew competition entries going. Registration is now open for Mayfaire hosted by the Maltose Falcons. Entries are due April 10th at the Culver City Shop. On-line registration is up and running at http://www.maltosefalcons.com/comps/2014Mayfaire. Please sign up to judge and steward too; they will need our help. Judging will take place on Saturday April 26, 2013 9:00 AM at St Martins in the Fields Church 7136 Winnetka Ave Winnetka CA, 91306 (click for map).
Also due in late April is the California State Fair. Entry information and registration is available at http://www.northerncalbrewers.com/homebrew-competition. We are looking for a road trip volunteer to deliver these entries, with closer sites in Riverside (Morebeer) and San Diego (Ballast Point) , so if you are interested, please contact me at Competitions@PacificGravity.com.
Looking ahead, now it the time to brew for the 2014 Pacific Brewers Cup. The entry deadline is August 22nd, with judging on September 6th at Smog City Brewing. We are looking for everyone to put their best foot forward and get those fermenters going before the weather gets too hot.
If you are hard-core competition junkie, there are a bazillion other contests to enter. The AHA has their master list at http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/competitions/aha-bjcp-sanctioned-competition/.
